Wolves plan £300,000 Myler swoop

WARRINGTON'S expected £250,000 cash windfall for reaching Wembley will fund an end-of-season transfer swoop for Salford Reds' scrum-half star, Richard Myler. A record deal in the region of £300,000 is on the cards.

Warrington know they will need to pay a substantial transfer fee for the teenager, who is on contract for the 2010 season but who has already turned down a lucrative new four-year deal with the City Reds.

Simon Moran, the Warrington club's major backer, is particularly keen to land Myler, who is regarded as one of the hottest properties in Super League.

Last week, Ian Lenagan, the Wigan owner, whose club were beaten by Warrington in the cup semi-final, said a Wembley appearance would have been worth up to £250,000 for Wigan. Now Warrington will reap the benefit.

Myler was left out by Reds coach, Sean McRae, for Salford's last game.

Keen

Myler is said to be keen on joining Warrington, where he will have the chance to play under coach, Tony Smith.

Smith, in his role as England coach, has also given Myler his big break at international level.

Reds bosses are resigned to seeing the young half-back, who was signed from Widnes, move on.

Meanwhile Salford are still smarting from last week's Super League defeat by Les Catalans.

The French scored three controversial tries which has led to Reds' football director, Steve Simms, again calling for cameras to be in operation at all games.

Simms told MEN Sport: "If we'd have had cameras, at least two of the three tries scored by Les Catalans would have been ruled out.

"Every week, we have two games televised, but, for things to be fair, we need cameras at every game."

Craig Stapleton will miss Salford's match against Harlequins on Saturday after receiving a one match ban following his sending off against Les Catalans.
